Mays's Day: Memories of May 31st, 1964 (and the entire month of May)

According to the author's introduction: What was the greatest single day in Willie Mays's aMAYSing career? Was it "The Catch" game, in 1954? Four home runs, on the day he was sick? The solo homer that broke up the 16 inning, Spahn-Marichal scoreless duel, or the leadership and character he showed breaking up the Marichal-Roseboro altercation? This author believes Mays's greatest day was Sunday, May 31st, 1964, when the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets played a classic doubleheader which set several major league records that still stand, 55 years later. Those combined 32 innings were the culmination of Willie's incredible MONTH, there in May '64. And in this book, I was looking back on it at age 64, with the memories of a 9-year-old kid from Newark, New Jersey and the perspective of a Senior Citizen. So join me here, get your ticket as I document, and bring to life, "Mays's Day."
